89: Magic Crystal Cannon
But Arthur's parents were still quite surprised that he casually gave away thirty bottles of Cultivation Magic Potion, each costing over a hundred thousand Gold Coins within the Kingdom.
Thirty bottles of Magic Potion were worth at least three million Gold Coins!
And the average person couldn't even buy them!
At the same time, they sighed, realizing Arthur was becoming increasingly successful!
...For the randomly drawn goods, Arthur's luck over the past three months had been hit or miss.
A prime example of bad luck was when two out of the three items were useless goods, such as a blade of grass or a single leaf.
A prime example of good luck was drawing an item named magic crystal cannon.
"The magic crystal cannon is one of humanity's masterpieces in magical attainment. Its entire body is crystal clear and covered in intricate Magic Patterns!
It looks exquisite and dazzling, making one unable to resist being captivated.
The Magic Shell it fires possesses the power equivalent to human Ninth-level Magic, capable of covering an area of five hundred meters in radius with a single strike.
Any enemy within a five-hundred-meter radius of the Magic Shell will feel its terrifying power.
The range of the shell firing reaches ten kilometers, far exceeding the casting distance of a Grand Magus, which is only a few kilometers.
However, to fire a shell, it requires at least the loading of a high-grade magic crystal.
One high-grade magic crystal can sustain the firing of three shells, with a five-second interval between each shot.
Price: Three million Gold Coins
Price of high-grade magic crystal: 100,000 Gold Coins"
Judging from the product description, the magic crystal cannon is truly terrifying!
However, besides the System description, Arthur also had knowledge of this item in reality.
The magic crystal cannon is an extremely precious magical creation, and the Kate Kingdom does not possess any.
Only the Empires located in the center of the continent are equipped with such terrifying Magic Crystal Giant Cannons.
To become an Empire, one must have at least a Demigod-Rank expert overseeing it, which suggests the value of the magic crystal cannon is quite high.
But judging from the System's price tag, this item is quite cost-effective, at least more so than directly purchasing Magic Scrolls.
The power of the Magic Crystal Giant Cannon is comparable to a Ninth-level Magic Scroll, and it only costs three million Gold Coins to purchase.
Three million Gold Coins would be spent on just thirty Ninth-level Magic Scrolls!
The price is the same as the Sky Knight's Greatsword; perhaps in the eyes of the Portable Shop, they are items of the same Rank.
This also means that after the magic crystal cannon fires thirty-odd shots, compared to Magic Scrolls, everything afterward is pure profit.
Therefore, if a war truly broke out, it would be much more cost-effective for Arthur to use the magic crystal cannon than Magic Scrolls.
Of course, the high-grade magic crystals required by the magic crystal cannon are also a relatively scarce resource, being a special mineral.
The magical power contained within it can accelerate a Mage's Cultivation, similar to how Battle Crystals speed up a Knight's Cultivation.
Although its effect is much slower compared to Magic Potions, its main feature is that it can be used continuously.
Magic Crystals are divided into Elementary Magic Crystals, Intermediate Magic Crystals, Advanced Magic Crystals, and so on.
Among them, high-grade magic crystals can already increase the Cultivation speed of Magisters and Grand Maguses.
A standard high-grade magic crystal is worth about one million Gold Coins on the market and can supply a Grand Magus with a year of Cultivation!
Such good items are naturally in short supply!
In this situation, if the magic crystal cannon were actually used, collecting high-grade magic crystals would also be difficult.
Fortunately, the Portable Shop designated high-grade magic crystals as an accessory item for the magic crystal cannon, making them available for direct purchase.
All in all, Arthur was very satisfied with the magic crystal cannon. If the opportunity arose, he could exchange for one and test its power.
A few more peaceful days followed. Just as Arthur and the people of the Kate Kingdom thought these quiet days would continue, a hidden storm was quietly approaching them... On a cloudless day, Arthur rode the Two-Headed Wyvern Andel to the seaside.
Their purpose for coming here was to improve their diet and catch some seafood to try!
Due to the presence of the Sea Race and Demonic Beasts in the sea, ordinary people dared not come to the coast. This resulted in the Kate Kingdom having no profession like fishermen, and naturally, no seafood in the markets.
Arthur had come to the seaside on a whim just now, intending to get some seafood to try.
Perhaps due to the unique Demonic Beast pressure of the Two-Headed Wyvern, Arthur and Andel did not encounter attacks from Demonic Beasts or the Sea Race. After spending several minutes harvesting nearly a ton of various seafood, they decided to return.
Of course, this amount was intended for Arthur himself; the Two-Headed Wyvern Andel had already eaten its fill during the capture process.
The man and the Dragon flew up into the sky above the seaside, preparing to return to Initial City.
Arthur looked down and saw a boundless city wall about one kilometer from the shallow beach.
This wall was specifically built to guard against the Sea Race. The Kate Kingdom had expended great effort to surround the entire coastline of the Kingdom.
There was a sentry post every three kilometers, manned by several humans to monitor the movements of the Sea Race.
Specialized fortresses were even constructed at certain shallow beaches where landing was easy.
Although these strict arrangements were in place, they served almost no other purpose.
This was because the war between humans and the Sea Race had only occurred once in the three hundred years since the Kate Kingdom was established.
The reason for such minimal conflict was primarily because the Sea Race's habitual living environment was the water.
Humans lived on land, and neither side significantly affected the other, so there was naturally no need for war.
If humans hadn't excessively hunted the various creatures in the sea previously, the Sea Race and humans would never have erupted into war!
The Sea Race is also divided into many factions, and this particular war was only between the Kate Kingdom and one faction of the Sea Race.
The result of the war was, naturally, the defeat of the Kate Kingdom!
However, because most of the Sea Race cannot stay out of the water for long periods, the Sea Race's attack on humanity did not spread throughout the entire Kingdom.
It was through this war that humans recognized the power of the Sea Race!
Since then, hunting in the sea has been prohibited, and the boundless city wall was also constructed to guard against the Sea Race.
With Arthur's eyesight, he could even see the moss spreading across the city wall, which indicated that this area had indeed been peaceful for a long time!
After a brief moment of sentimentality gazing at the majestic city wall, Arthur resumed his journey home!
After flying two hundred kilometers, the Two-Headed Wyvern Andel, using his keen sight, noticed a girl collapsed on the ground in the uninhabited area of the Barren Plains, which should have been deserted.
Initially, he didn't care, but remembering that his master, Arthur, was also human, he offered a reminder:
"Sire, there is a little girl collapsed on the plain below. Should we check on her?"
Hearing this, Arthur was surprised that anyone would appear in the uninhabited area, and simultaneously looked in the direction Andel pointed.
Arthur and Andel were currently thousands of meters high in the sky. With Arthur's eyesight, he could only vaguely make out a figure, so he said:
"Get closer and take a look!"
